For those of you who don't already know, Tiff will be giving the M600 a blast on next weeks 5th Gear. Watch and dribble OR sell your house and join him!

Don't know what happened there then. Fifth Gear failed to produce the M600 this week, though it was advertised on last weeks show and says so on the internet. Now looks like it's gonna be next week. Tiff will be doing 200mph in it!

rolleyes Rob do you really need to ask?
idea Just in case you do, they're probably going over it with a fine toothed combe to make sure it does do the 200MPH after failing to do so for this weeks show.
Sorry but it's the born cynic in me, can't help but wonder if this car is as good/ready as they say it is, let alone a customer delivered one.

You know that for a fact do you? You think they film it that close to transmission? You think they'd push the Maserati story back as we as funnily enough that bit of the trailer was the same as well....riiight.

It is. Customer cars are being delayed due to parts supply problems that are out of Nobles hands. The blue car seemed customer ready to me and all the people that drove it a few months ago, just didn't have the carbon panels.

5th gear had the M600 here on the air field at the end of march! not sure the hold up is anything to do with the factory.

I notice from the trailer, it was at your place, so you must know what happened smile

Blimey me tellies playing up again - I thought I heard Jason say the M600 beastie was £200,000 eek

So that's £75,000, no £100,000 no... think of a £number wink

Oh, and I thought speedos lost accuracy the faster you go - so is 200mph on the clock a real 200mph? scratchchin

Is it just me or has 5th Gear lost the plot? They just seem to skim the surface without any real depth to the articles.

Well knowing Peter, I expect so and it felt pretty accurate to me.
